I signed up for presale on Loewe and was able to get a link on the day of the presale but the link would not work. I tried for 20 minutes or so and it finally worked. By that time however the first bag I wanted which was the Howl & Sophie Amazona 28 was already sold out. My second choice, the Calcifer small Puzzle in black was also sold out. I had given up but today I found the Calcifer bag on preorder at Saks and was able to place and order. I'm so excited, Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite Ghibli movies.

The Black mini puzzle I ordered from Loewe shipped last night and should arrive next week! The SLGs I purchased along with the bag are still "in preparation". However, I was able to purchase some of those items on Saks: the drawstring bag, blue calcifer plain cardholder, the mini blueberry puzzle and the blue calcifer strap. ALL shipped and should be arriving in the next few days.
I did shop in-stores this morning specifically for the candle, which I decided not to get. I saw both Howl & Sophie Amazona bags on display. Kind of wished I inquired about them, but I know I would never use those bags. I saw the cow bag in the window display but the person ahead of me purchased it. I picked up the Heen cardholder and the Calcifer charm. I didn't get those character gift tags, but I'll take what I can get. Also, I didn't realize the little booklet has scenes from the movie. I'll have to check my SA from last year if it has the same....
Thanks to everyone on this thread!!! I definitely would have missed out.

Same TTOTT I had the magical sky SLGs in my cart, but I had payment issues twice and they sold out while I was fixing it.The order I made minutes after the presale started working is still in “In Preparation” purgatory but now I’m also having regret over not pulling the trigger on either Magical Sky SLG
Both mine and my bf’s orders of this got shipped today. Have u received an email from DHL? I got the shipment email from DHL even tho Loewe never emailed me
Does anyone know if Loewe typically restocks the brass charms? I saw turniphead and calcifer this morning, but only turniphead was in stock and I snagged that. I kept refreshing the page all day, but it looks like they completely removed both of those charms from the site now. Looks like Selfridges is also OOS, sadly.
And for anyone else with 'In Preparation' purgatory, I ordered the cow charm (in presale) and turniphead brass charm (this morning), and both have not shipped yet (US based).

♀️ Dare I say I’m a co-occupant in said purgatory with the SLGs and pouch ( I ordered pre-sale) having had no shipment info yet. If only my commiseration could bump up the ‘in preparation’ status of all who are in the same situation. Yeeesh.The order I made minutes after the presale started working is still in “In Preparation” purgatory but now I’m also having regret over not pulling the trigger on either Magical Sky SLG
Anyway, there are still some Magical Sky items at Sak’s (site/app) last time I was there. Didn’t realize how invested I am in this collection as I like SA better but this being the last collab moved me to avoid re-experiencing the remorse of missing out. That, or laying prey to exorbitant charges from resellers. Again, this is the last Ghibli collection and my disposable income can heave a sigh of relief after this. Eeeek!
I should have I went earlier! I was trying to get the Heen charm and the magical sky coin cardholder too, hopefully they restock on the website.
It was really nice to be able to see and feel the Howl feather cardigan! I love how creative they were with the HMC collection, so many unique pieces.
Snap! I bought the calcifer mini flamenco as well. And the calcifer nugget.I’m also in Aus and have not received any shipping info yet
Anyone else bought the calcifer mini flamenco? Haven’t seen it mentioned a lot here so far.
I got lucky I guess with the spirited away release. I ordered online and within a day I got a shipping notification. No such luck this time
Nothing from DHL either! I ordered mine around 6:30 pm EST on February 1st, when did you two place your orders? I'm imagining that at some point they went out of stock, so I'm wondering if I ordered before or after that
We wanted the same bags! I bought the Calcifer bag online first (which shipped today), but in hindsight I should have tried checking out the Amazona first. The NYC Soho store still had smalls, and the Saks still had minis when I went today. I guess they made a lot of those? I also got the embroidered denim jacket in store. I think I missed out on the Amazona online because I spent an extra minute contemplating about the jacket...
My boyfriend asked if we should rewatch the movie but I refused because the scene that's on the Howl Amazona would 100% make me sad lmao.
I actually received the small orange puzzle today, one day earlier than expected. I ordered about a minute or two after the stock fixed itself. I’m located in the US.
I was going to return it as I made some other purchases from the collection but now seeing it person, the leather and color is amazing! Still debating on whether to keep it or not.
